Crossbow MMS file size cap Registry fix?

I'm surprised that I'm the only one taking a stand on this issue:
Hasn't anyone noticed that when receiving MMS pictures with the new crossbow roms they are downscaled dramatically? No longer are we able to receive the full file size of the picture message sent. For example, if a friend were to send you a 91kb picture message, your HTC device would download the file and downscale it to 160x120 with size 5-15kb. At first i thought this was a network issue, but when i tried the standard T-mobile rom and the Custom WM5 rom 2.26 by Xelecin, i was able to receive the picture messages in actual size.
Is everone content receiving microscropic choppy picture messages? Is there some type of registry fix for this?

I just took a 640x480 pic on my phone. File size is 63K. I then used my phone to send the pic to myself. The incomming MMS had a 63K, 640x480 pic attached. I'm running the new Faria WM6 ROM.
I'm pretty sure when I sent a pic with WM6 MBE to my wife, she got a full sized pic also (but I really didn't check it).
PM me and I can MMS you a pic, and you can send on to me so we can compare results if you want.

BTW:Have you verified in your MMS settings that "Photo Resolution" is set to Original? QQVGA (160x120) is one of the options here, which seems to be what you are seeing happen. Go to MMS, then click Menu > Tools > Options..., Click on MMS, and under Preferences tab scroll to the bottom for Photo Resolution.

Non-MMS image taken - how to send?

How do you send images you've taken in normal setting not MMS type?
My images are over 300kb and are too large to osend via MMS.
My operator only allows up to 99KB per mms.
So if I want to send someone an mms, I have to open a new mms, then select take picture (from within the new mms) and then take the picture.
How to resize it to friendly sizes?
Ive tried the "Resize" but that doesnt really resize it much or enough.
Thanks

Have you tried sending it as an email attachement?

I dont want to email it.
I want the receiver to see it on thier mobile (hence MMS).

No, I mean send it as an email attachment from your phone to theirs, or do they not have the ability to read attachments?

hi,
You can choose the picture format in MMS account configuration. Pictures too large are resized

On my stock TYTN II, it asks if I want to resize the large image when I try to attach it in an mms. Problem is that it always put in the original image un-resized no matter what you try to resize it to.

try emailing it to their phones email addy. I know mine is something like

I thought an MMS would go to:
[email protected]
And a SMS would go to:
[email protected]

Could be, I wasn't stating the address as fact but giving him an idea of what it would be like.

Have you tried to tweak the mms sending and receiving size, to enable you to send/receive pics up to 1mb?
It requires you to do a reg edit.
HKLM/Software/Arcsoft/Arcsoft MMS/Config/UI/SizeLimit
just change all 3 Recvlimit's and all 3 Sendlimit's to either
614400 (which is 600k). or you can do what I did, and put 1024000 (which is 1mb). Or .. you can put 1536000 (which is 1.5mb).
Exit and then soft reset device so the settings will keep. Once rebooted, go your mms configuration settings in your messaging options menu, and be sure to select whatever you've indicated in your reg settings, (600k, 1mb, or 1.5 mb).
Press ok, ok, and youre done. Now you should be able to send a mms message that more than 300k now. Hope this helps.

If you're limited to 99kb per MMS, then I would suggest lowering the resolution of your camera before taking the picture. While its not an ideal solution, it should work...

NotATreoFan -Ya I know I can reduce the size but I also want max quality pictures for PC show.
robosiris- I thought the limit was strictly administered by my service provider. Ill try it and see!
Thanks

I thought so too. But with this tweak, I can now send and recieve up to 1mg. You can set it higher but 1mg is good for me.
Also, If you're looking to send/receive pics over 1mb and alittle under 1.5mg, you can try setting it to 1228800 which gives me an option for 1200K, (1.2mb). With these tweaks, you won't (or very rarely) have to worry about changing images sizes.
Hope this helps

MMS converts the message

Does anyone know why when I send a 300K message, that includes an audio and a picture, it sends it ok but when the recipient recieves it, its only 30k. The picture gets converted to like a smaller version and the audio is converted as well. Very weird

Check the MMS settings in the mail application. Usually MMS are limited to 100kB by default, so whtever you send that would make it over that limit will be converted.

can anyone provide me the cab for setting the mms limit to 3mb? thank you... i'm afraid of using kaisertweak everytime...
Thanks

Here you go....
I've never had this problem because I don't send or receive too many messages.
Regards,
MAC

Thank you so much, i send 10/20 mms everyday and lost that cab, i was lost thank you again

MMS fix for boost mobile

Okay I may have a mms fix for boost, but it is in .cab format and I'm not sure how or if I can use it. any ideas will help.

APN Settings for MMS on Boost
I'm currently running Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS12] on my Vogue, on Boost Mobile's network, and I am able to send MMS by attaching picture files in text messaging. The only settings I changed were in the default APN:
MMSC: mm.myboostmobile.com (add http: and // in front. Since this is my first post I'm not allowed to post URLs )
MMS port: 80
No other changes to the APN settings are necessary to send MMS.
I'm pretty sure that it's impossible to receive an actual MMS on Boost's network. You will get the text message with a link to the Media Mail page (which never works, at least for me).

Can you share your cab? I'd like to try and could prolly use it, since I'm running a Touch Pro2 WinMo 6.5 and XDAndroid. Thanks

Can someone please help me? I used the mm.myboostmobile.com and get a 'error-permanent-system failure' when getting receiving pic mail but could send. Also, my hubby who uses a Boost BB gets a blank message. So I used pcs-boost-mmsc-submit.sun3.lightsurf.net. and I was able to not send media mail but receive it without any problems. I have an energy ROM and using the Arcsoft MMS version you have above. This is so ridiculous. Do I have to use mms program specially for my Sense Energy CRX ROM or what? I do not understand what's wrong with this? Is it because I have an Energy ROM?

Text and picture message on BoostMobile
Text and picture messaging on BoostMobile is no longer working. Anyone out there has a fix for it?
"mm.myboostmobile.com" is no longer working.

Just keep waiting and testing it out, it's not device specific it appears to be network and location specific, read more here: "http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1721560-New-Boost-Mobile-MMS-Settings"

I haven't had a chance to dig my vogue out and try this, but I was thinking you guys might want to grap the mms.apk file from the shabbymod Rom for the Prevails and see if allows MMS texts to pass on through as normal.

Just a thought.

[Q] friend with iphone not receiving MMS

anyone having problems sending MMS to anyone with an iphone? i was able to send MMS to my friend who has an iphone with evil NXsense ROM but having no avail with cm6.1. my friend is getting an error saying that the message is too large.
i did a clean wipe and install
i can send MMS to my other friends, but just not those with iphones.
any solutions?
thanks in advance

lol I could start by saying IPHONE SUCKS! but i won't be mean
Anyways, did you check to see if the your phone is converting the files to the right format/size? Check on your friends' phone to see how big the file is and which format...then try to send the same file to the iphone again...make sure that iphone is actually able to receive MMS from other people!

i knew that was coming xD
how do i check if its converting the files to the right format/size?
he is not getting anything. just an error saying:
"one or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adapatation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal"
hes able to send and receive MMS fine. but the weird thing is, i was able to send him MMS when i was on the evil NXsense rom. since moving to cm6.1, no more goes D:
thanks in advance

CM6 doesn't limit MMS, if I recall correctly, like NXSense does. And iPhone can't receive messages larger than 600kB (Android can send/receive up to 5MB or so). Cut the files you're trying to send in size.

agreed, but doesn't the carrier limit file size? mine limits it to 600kb and it shouldn't even send if it goes higher than that...
As for how to looks at the size, just send the mms to some other phone that works and on that phone check the properties of the file....if the size is <= 600kb then try sending it to the iphone dude
Also, I've had a few problems with files not converting and I found out that when sending an MMS, if I attach a file and click on "Capture Picture" and take a picture instead of selecting a file in the gallery, it seems to convert them....try that!

alright it sending 5mb files. how does one go and cut the size?

Stupid question.. But is the iPhone a First generation iPhone 2G? If it is, and that model is on AT&T it does not support MMS at all. They even go so far as to block the IMEI on that phone so even third party apps won't send or receive MMS messages properly. What version of the iPhone is it?

sorry, i should have included that in my original post. its the 4g

Either using any picture editor / resizer, or trying to add picture to MMS in a different way, which will auto-resize it (from MMS menu, maybe).
Check the size of the MMS by sending it to someone else, as suggested above.

Its something with att because my girlhad an iPhone and now has a captivate. Neither received my mms
Sent from my Nexus One

Yeah, that's kinda odd.
I can't talk about personal experience since I just switched to Cyanogen and haven't sent an MMS yet (I really never do anyways )
You should try and report it to Cyanogen, maybe they'll get it fixed
